A Tactile Presentation Method of Mind Maps in Co-located Meetings
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a concept to use a 2D tactile mind map tool for a better integration of blind people into co-located meetings with the goal of structuring and organizing ideas during ideation. We mainly focus on presentation techniques to present mind maps to blind users. We discuss problems of existing analogue and digital tools, which support structuring and organizing ideas, for blind meeting participants. Further we outline the concept of a sequential method for presenting mind maps [1]. Finally the design of 2D presentation technique using the “touch-sensitive tablet display for blind and partially sighted users” (HyperBraille Project http://hyperbraille.de) is presented.
